The Story

From campaigns to products — with a brand of my own in between

I started my career in marketing after completing my MBA, working in both startup and cybersecurity environments. I later built my own wellness brand, Saanvi Botanicals, where I led everything from product development and user research to go-to-market and growth.

Through this experience, I realized I was doing product management end-to-end — identifying problems, building solutions, and iterating based on customer feedback.

I'm now focused on transitioning into product management, bringing together my experience in marketing, UX design, and real-world product building.

Core Competencies

What I Bring

User-Centered Thinking

Every product decision starts with the user. I combine UX certification, market research, and direct customer feedback to validate before building.

Product Strategy

Defining the "why" before the "what." I align product decisions with business goals, market positioning, and long-term growth vectors.

Go-to-Market

From Etsy to Walmart to Shopify — I have built and executed multi-channel GTM strategies that drive real revenue.

End-to-End Ownership

I have taken products from zero to shelf. Formulation, branding, packaging, pricing, distribution — the full stack of product ownership.

PM Fit
